Undercard bout

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Iivana Jalo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Julien Touret (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jalo kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Aino Venna - Waltz to Paris. Touret is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: La Valse d'Amelie. On his way into the cage it seems that Iivana Jalo has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Iivana Jalo seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Oisin O Conghaile (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hector Williams (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). O Conghaile kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is The Deer's Cry by Angelina. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
